The Vegas Golden Knights are turning the next nine days into a hockey festival. The team announced Knights Hockey Week, running Wednesday, Nov. 11 through Thursday, Nov. 19, with five Golden Knights home games at T-Mobile Arena and three Henderson Silver Knights home games at Lee’s Family Forum, plus theme nights, free health screenings and a free open skate.

Key Takeaways

  • Eight home games in nine days: five for the Golden Knights, three for the Silver Knights.
  • Military Appreciation Knight kicks it off Nov. 11 against the Utah Mammoth at 6:30 p.m.
  • Free cancer screenings on Paramount+ Plaza before the Nov. 13 Hockey Fights Cancer game.
  • A free open skate at Lee’s Family Forum on Monday, Nov. 16, 5 to 7 p.m. (RSVP required).

Golden Knights games at T-Mobile Arena

Wed., Nov. 11, 6:30 p.m. vs. Utah: Military Appreciation Knight honors active-duty service members, veterans and their families, with TAPS members and the U.S. Air Force Thunderbirds as guests. Signed specialty jerseys will be auctioned to benefit the Folded Flag Foundation and ForgiveCo.

Fri., Nov. 13, 7 p.m. vs. Nashville: Hockey Fights Cancer Knight. Before the game, Paramount+ Plaza will host a mobile mammography unit for breast cancer screenings plus free prostate and skin cancer screenings. Jersey auction proceeds go to the American Cancer Society.

Sun., Nov. 15, 6 p.m. vs. Vancouver: the team debuts its Hometown Remix uniforms, with a canned food drive on the plaza before puck drop.

Tue., Nov. 17, 7 p.m. vs. Dallas: a VGK x Formula 1 Las Vegas Grand Prix night, ahead of the Nov. 21 race. The Knights face Dallas again on Thu., Nov. 19 at 7 p.m.

Silver Knights games and the free skate

In Henderson, the Silver Knights host the Calgary Wranglers on Thu., Nov. 12 at 7 p.m. and again Sat., Nov. 14 at 6 p.m. for their own Hockey Fights Cancer night, when the first 1,500 fans get a sunshade. Wed., Nov. 18 at 7 p.m. vs. San Jose is Cheers and Beers Knight, with $2 Bud Light for fans 21 and older.

On Mon., Nov. 16, Lee’s Family Forum opens its ice for a free open skate from 5 to 7 p.m. Fans need to RSVP and should bring their own skates; only a limited number of rentals is expected. The team also says prizes will drop in its new VGK mobile app all week, and that the schedule is subject to change.

What it means for locals and visitors

With F1 race week landing at the same time, expect heavy traffic around T-Mobile Arena and the Strip on game nights, so leave early or use rideshare. The free screenings and the open skate are easy, no-cost ways for locals to join in, and the Silver Knights games in Henderson are a cheaper, closer-to-the-ice option for visiting fans.
